I had a super fabulous run at lunch today! I was tired beforehand and after I felt so great. I love it when everything just clicks! It was 12C out, which is quite lovely, and the sunny was peeking in and out but not overwhelming. I went for my usual seawall lunch time route and …

My half training plan calls for weights on Monday, but I really enjoy taking two full days off a week, it just works for me. So maybe I should just permanently move weights from Monday to Tuesday? Regardless I managed to do an actual, real weights workout today. I am still suffering from lack-of-trainer, low-motivation …

I had a psychic moment this morning. I was about 9 or 10 minutes into my run and I thought to myself oh my god, where is my house key? I patted myself down and checked my pockets, twice. It was gone. Fuck.
Fuck, fuck fuck. I started retracing my steps at a slow jog …

First we should talk about my weekend runs. Yesterday I was hungover and ran 3 miles with a headache that refused to go away. It was through some of my favorite trails up near UBC but I wasn’t feeling it. In fact I actually went back to bed after I got home. Then today I …

Today was my second attempt at a tempo run. My first one, two weeks ago, was run on a sore throat. Well today I was suffering from a serious wine headache. You see, we went out for dinner last night with my parents to celebrate my recent engagement, and the wine was flowing. So this …

Yesterday was allegedly a rest and strength day. But I really wanted to go to spin because I hadn’t been in 6 weeks because of being out of town and busy. My favorite teacher teaches Mondays and Wednesdays and she makes the greatest music mixes. So I went to spin early with the intention of …

After spending the weekend out of town, again, I was really looking forward to driving to a nice trail this afternoon for a longish run. Unfortunately the ferry almost an hour later, which pretty much killed my driving time. Instead, I thought I would jog down to the seawall and if it wasn’t busy I …

So this week, unfortunately I can’t workout with my trainer. My current partner has gotten too pregnant to workout with me and I just can’t afford 1:1’s. So I am on my own until I find someone else to train with.
So because of that, I was on the hook to give myself a good workout, …
